Interesting article in the Guardian yesterday outlining the importance of "responsiveness of care" in the early months of an infant's life. Though she's not mentioned, this obviously resonates with some of Sue Gerhardt's work. You can read the full article here

Peter Jenkins, the author of UWCN's latest DVD "A Confidential Space" is returning to Newport on the 11th of November to run a workshop on "Counselling, Ethics and the Law". Anyone who's seen Peter speak before - or who's seen the DVD - will know that this is an opportunity not to be missed. The workshops runs from 2 to 4.30 pm and further details can be obtained from the Conference Centre at 01633-432991 or by email.

Advance notice of OCTIA's 2012 conference "Online Therapy - The Power of Words and Imagery in Practice" which will take place at Bristol's Watershed on 17th March 2012. There's an increasing interest in online therapy and this looks well worth attending. More information at www.octia.org.uk.

Funny old world, I used to spend a lot of time rollerskating at the Watershed in the 80's......

About Me

For many years I worked at the University of Wales, Newport where, amongst other things, I ran "the counselling blog." When I left in the summer of 2011 that blog necessarily ground to a halt as it was attached to my university email account. This is my new replacement counselling blog!
